Last year the venue was the river beach of Calasparra, also in the Segura.

The "Big Jump" is an initiative of the European Rivers Network, ERN, supported by various European organizations.

The environmental organization points out that "the EU has set 2015 as the date on which should have picked a good ecological status of European rivers. This is, then, bathing in the waters of our rivers should be a reality .

This time the "Great Leap" was held on Sunday July 11th at 12 noon.

A activity this year has been organized by the Otter Project Ecologists in Action, Region of Murcia. A project, "says Luengo," has as its main objective the preservation and recovery of the riverine areas and its diversity, through involvement volunteers. "

One of the main threats of the Segura in the Vega Alta: reducing flows.

"One thing that adds," is on today's incompatible with the preservation of good ecological status of our river. "
